BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Ohio cousins feuding over ownership of Civil War artifacts plan to ask whether the items could be displayed at a Veterans Affairs clinic being built near Toledo.
Timberlake resident Albert Ward and Linda Schwartz of Perrysburg are fighting over who has more of a right to a key from a Confederate prison and two Congressional Medals of Honor from Sgt. Wilson W. Brown. Ward and Schwartz are descendants of Brown.
He says family members believe that would be a good home for the items and allow many veterans to see them.
Ward's lawyer tells The Blade in Toledo (http://bit.ly/JLDhS6 ) that both sides met for mediation last week and will ask about displaying the items at the VA clinic. He says family members believe that would be a good home for the items and allow many veterans to see them.
The newspaper says an attorney for Schwartz didn't return a call.
